Her accompaniments of his cello playing brought out all the subtle beauties. The growth of their romance was noted by Roger's mother, who loved the girl's sweet, tender ways. A discordant note was struck when Darkin, playing upon a secret hold which he had on Roger's father, insisted upon thrusting himself and his daughter Rose upon Stewart's home circle. Having social ambitions for his daughter, Darkin used his influence upon Stewart to bring about the marriage of Roger and Rose. The young musician had written a beautiful song dedicated to Mary, and under its influence, and that of her presence, he declared his love for her; overhearing this, his father came into the room just as Mary left and ordered Roger to give up his plans concerning Mary and marry Rose. Roger was thunderstruck and refused to listen to it. Furious, Stewart stormed about, took up the manuscript, tore it, threw the pages into the fire, and rushed out of the room. Mr. Stewart had better success in his appeal to Mary. He confessed that Darkin had information that would ruin him if Roger did not marry Rose, and begged Mary to give up his son. She pitied the old man, so she agreed and wrote Roger a note telling him that things couldn't be as he wished. Darkin, impatient at the delay, wrote a threatening letter to Stewart, demanding immediate action. As he was reading it Mrs. Stewart rushed in and informed him of Mary's departure. Roger was in despair. Again he tried to recall the melody of his song but failed. When his father made a second appeal, with a full confession of his crime, convincing Roger that Darkin would carry out his threat unless his terms were met, Roger sadly consented to marry Rose to protect his father. Throughout the succeeding years he sought vainly for the melody. Ten years after his sad marriage he was seated in church when suddenly his wonderful melody was played. Entranced, he sat listening, as the congregation slowly left. He made his way to the organ loft and there found Mary. A few words bared the whole truth. Reading the look in Mary's eyes, indicating that Rose was gone, by showing her the mourning band on his arm, Roger begged her to listen once more to his love. Bowing her head, Mary came slowly toward him, and the lost melody was found. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
